ABSTRACT
The term language socialization is used to reflect the underlying assumption that the development of language in young children depends on the language are involved. In other words, language is learned in the context of the environment, where the learner learns the local rules for communication in general as well as the specifics of the language system(s) in use. Opportunities for socialization arise in the context of routine daily activities. in the context of family mealtimes, or in the context of fighting with a friend over a Pokemon card. What it is tht motivates a child to learn language in order to operate within those contexts is clear: The child wants to communicate. communication stands in a reflexice relationship with the self, the other, and the self–other relationship (Schiffrin, 1994). Therefore, language not only functions in context, but also provides a context, as Lanza (1997) put it.
